Home game leftover.  Here’s Andy, one of my favorite regulars.

So happy to be able to be marching again! What started as a small surgery turned into a pretty major surgery as soon as they opened me up and saw what the MRI hadn't shown. I was honestly worried I wouldn't be able to match this year because of my hip problems, but thanks to a great doctor and an even greater God, I'm healed up and ready to go! #itsahipthing #besthipdoc #marching #oupride #boomer #sooner #boomersooner

I saw Amberleigh after official practice ended earlier this week, alone in the parking lot perfecting her moves like a dedicated performers will do.  She's a member of the Pride, and one of the captains of the color guard, a title she's held for the past three years.  

"I started when I was in high school.  I love it.  I tried out here my freshman year and I made it and I was so happy.  Sophomore year I made captain, and I've been one ever since (she's a senior).  I coach color guard too, at Blanchard high school."  

I was tempted to ask if I could toss the flag, but I didn't want to give myself a concussion in front of a complete stranger. That would have been embarrassing.
